in many way's I think the Biggest loser is a detriment to real life weight loss. The biggest loser setup doesn't reflect real life The people on the show are basically doing a full time job of weight loss. The are closely monitored in matching nutrition with their workouts (about 5 hours a day) in order to get the optimum weight loss. This is a complex relationship...... I remember a show a couple years ago where on guy didn't lose or gained weight and they figured out it was because he cut more calories in his diet than called for.

I get the why can i thing and just think wham let me lose it fast.....but losing weight consistently by make changes you can live with forever....is what keeps it off.
